 Matt's comment:

 This doesn't mean it shouldn't go in core, just do a detect at the
 beginning for the needed functions and show a friendly error message if
 not available. You should drop the patch on a Trac ticket.

 Notes by Hailin:

 I thought about using XML parsing class like
 http://www.criticaldevelopment.net/xml/doc.php. However, this violates the
 principle of keeping core small, and clean.

 Let's see how the alternative approach goes (I believe that is better as
 it eliminates the middle step, and achieves one-click import).
